When we were first putting this show together, Spectacular Spider-Man #178-184 was at the top of the list of stories to cover. And boy, do we have an episode for you!

Join hosts Cain Winstead and Matthew Deragisch as they dive though the untouched corners and forgotten stories of the Spider-Man library on a hunt for lost gems and what it truly means to be a Spider-Man story.

In this episode of Untold Talks of Spider-Man Cain and Matt are joined by none other than Spider-Man scribe J.M. DeMatteis as they discuss his lost gem THE CHILD WITHIN. Tune in for the conversation and hear about DeMatteis’s ideas about what makes Spider-Man unique, behind the scenes talk about The Child Within, as well as our normal breakdown of the issue.

Cain grew up on the sandy shores of the Gulf Coast but moved to Memphis, TN in 2008 to earn his BA in English from Rhodes College. After graduation in 2012, a series of misadventures lead him through several careers before landing in computer repair. When he’s not writing bios in the third person, he can be found outside working in his yard, inside catching up on the Marvel universe, or at his desk working on his fiction writing.
